Blood Sugar Management
Keeping your blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible through proper dietary changes, exercise, and/or medication and insulin therapy is the key to good diabetes control. Avoiding highs (hyperglycemia) and lows (hypoglycemia) in your blood sugar will not only make you feel better, but will significantly reduce your risk of diabetes complications. The only way to make sure your blood sugar levels are in target range is to test frequently each day and to get regular A1c tests from your healthcare provider.
